A well-designed folder has the power to elevate your brand and gain a client&#8217;s confidence.<\/p>\n<p>Design presentation folders with long-term use in mind. Steer away from adding information like an employee name or company address. This allows you to order for future needs and take advantage of the lowest price per folder possible.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the following tips to create a folder that leaves a lasting impression!<\/p>\n<h2>Design Tips for the Perfect Printed Folder<\/h2>\n<h3>Keep it simple:<\/h3>\n<p>Folders can be stored and used for more than their intended purpose. Minimalist design goes a long way. The front and back of the folder could contain nothing more than a logo on an <a href=\"\/pearl-metallic-presentation-folders\">eye-catching stock<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Match the design to the documents inside:<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s critical to consider the contents of the folder before you begin designing. The size you need depends on what\u2019s going inside.<\/p>\n<p>Your <a href=\"\/presentation-folders\">printed presentation folder<\/a> should be slightly larger than the documents inside. Traditional pocket folders are 9\u201d x 12\u201d (for letter-size inserts) or 9\u201d x 14.5\u201d (for legal-size inserts). If your folder contents are smaller than letter-sized sheets, we also offer 5.25\u201d x 10.5\u201d and 6\u201d x 9\u201d folders as well.<\/p>\n<p>Matching documents inside the folder (like <a href=\"\/sell-sheets\">sell sheets<\/a> or brochures) make your brand shine. What goes into your folders will change over time as your brand evolves.<\/p>\n<h3>Add business card slits or CD holders to hold smaller documents:<\/h3>\n<p>Traditional folders include two inside pockets and business card slits. We offer and recommend including business card slits on one or both pockets. Business card slips make it easy for clients to locate and hold onto contact information. Additional slits for CDs are also available.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7286 size-full\" title=\"Business Folders with Business Card Slits\" src=\"https:\/\/www.primoprint.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/business-folders.jpg\" alt=\"Traditional folders include two inside pockets and business card slits.

Because of this, the printed design for inside pockets should be included on your front print file. The pockets are scored, folded, and glued inside after printing.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why we recommend using our layout templates. <a href=\"https:\/\/support.primoprint.com\/artwork-and-files\/file-setup\/creating-print-ready-files\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Designing with our templates<\/a> helps to ensure your artwork is print ready.&nbsp;If you prefer to have someone else create your artwork, our experienced <a href=\"\/resources\/design-services\">design team is happy to help<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7288 size-full\" title=\"Custom Presentation Folders\" src=\"https:\/\/www.primoprint.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/custom-presentation-folders.jpg\" alt=\"We also offer design services for presentation folders if you would prefer for our experienced team to create your artwork.\" width=\"1546\" height=\"1045\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.primoprint.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/custom-presentation-folders.jpg 1546w, https:\/\/www.primoprint.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/custom-presentation-folders-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.primoprint.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/custom-presentation-folders-768x519.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.primoprint.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/custom-presentation-folders-1024x692.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1546px) 100vw, 1546px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Ready to Get Started?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the above tips in mind, you\u2019re well on your way to creating an impressive presentation folder that elevates your brand.&nbsp;What&#8217;s your experience creating presentation folders?
